Missing textures

I added the line "ShowMissingTextureAlert=1" to the [Scenery] section of FSX.CFG and found that many of my AI aircraft had missing textures. Is there a tool which will scan .mdl files and report missing textures? I have tried FSLibScan but this seems to scan only scenery bgls and not aircraft

It is freeware, goes by the name of FlightSim Manager Version 2.8 from Rana Hossain. Sadly it is abandoned since a long time, and Rana has implemented a end of life function for November 30, 2006. The result is, that the version you can download from avsim (site is down, so no link) will not start.

The solution is to start it with a small script that saves the current date/time, sets an old date, starts the tool and restores the current date. You can download the script from avsim as well, but it prepared to work with the English date delimiters.

This version works for me:

Code:

@echo off
REM Get useful date out of Windows XP
REM Set to same date in year 2005 ver 1.0
REM Set a local scope for the following variables
setlocal
for /F "tokens=1-4 delims=." %%i in ('date /t') do (
set Month=%%j
set Day=%%i
set Year=%%k
)
echo.
echo.
echo Datum: %Day%.%Month%.%Year%
echo.
date %Day%.%Month%.2005
start FlightSimManager.exe
sleep 10
date %Day%.%Month%.%Year%
REM End the local scope for variables
endlocal

The program will check one or all aircrafts for missing textures / gauges / sounds and does a dozen other useful things as well. Beware, it's a powerful tool which can do harm if misused
